How much was it Skip?
I want one, but E-1s seem to cost an arm and half a leg down here in Oz!

Well, I finally did it.  I went over to the dark side today.  

I went to B&H in NYC this morning and bought an Olympus E-1 + 14-54/2.8
+ FL50.  I have had too many reasons lately to need one and frankly, I
was just tired of waiting.  The two things that put me over the edge
were the availability of the MA-1 adapater and the downloading samples
from Steve's Digicams of ISO 800 and ISO 1600 images.  I compared them
to scans from Fuji Press 800, both at ISO 800 and pushed to ISO 1600.
The character of the digital noise vs. grain is different, as the
digital images tend to have color bleeding.  But the "graininess" of the
images was very comparable.  So my last significant objection was
overwhelmed.

I didn't buy the high-capacity battery/grip, the 50/2 Macro, or the
50-200/2.8 yet.  That's another $2,000 that I didn't want to spend yet.
Perhaps in a few weeks, as I still have some non-OM-System goodies to
sell.

The battery is charging now and I'm going to shoot some basketball
tonight as a warm-up.

Wish me luck,

Skip
